I want to know why you are harassing me? This is my band and I have the right to post facts about it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hippipimp (talk • contribs) 04:04, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I created the Cosmic Free Way wiki page. I have nevery right to edit it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hippipimp (talk • contribs) 04:42, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

As I've explained to you, you don't, you have a conflict of interest.

Seb, if the band is deleted we'll still have the band members who don't have notability, shouldn't they be in the AfD or have separate AfDs? Dougweller (talk) 05:29, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I made all of them redirects... after the AfD, they will automatically be Xed as redirects to nowhere. No? Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 ^{> haneʼ} 05:53, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Will they? I was assuming that after the AfD they'd be reverted to their original status. I see at least one of the others he created was speedied. Dougweller (talk) 09:11, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Dispute resolution survey

Dispute Resolution – Survey Invite

Hello Seb az86556. I am currently conducting a study on the dispute resolution processes on the English Wikipedia, in the hope that the results will help improve these processes in the future. Whether you have used dispute resolution a little or a lot, now we need to know about your experience. The survey takes around five minutes, and the information you provide will not be shared with third parties other than to assist in analyzing the results of the survey. No personally identifiable information will be released.

Indigenous place names

I thought I would bring to your attention that a user who recently rewrote the Colorado River article removed the indigenous language names from the lede and moved them to a section which describes indigenous peoples, cultures and languages in the past tense. I made some preliminary fixes in the article and added a (long) note about the issue on the talkpage, but I currently only have internet access every once in a long while, so I thought I would mention it to you in case you have any interest in keeping an eye on the situation. --ಠ_ಠ node.ue ಠ_ಠ (talk) 02:42, 9 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

DREAM Act

I respect your diligence in maintaining the sanctity of these Wikipedia pages but re: the DREAM Act page, I am curious as to why the changes to edit the derogatory and oppressive terminology (eg. illegal aliens/peoples, etc) are repeatedly reverted.

Thank you for your time.

Srho (talk) 20:08, 9 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Using terminology like "illegal alien" perpetuates derogatory and xenophobic sentiments that only serves to dehumanize undocumented immigrants. Yes, it's indisputable that the A in DREAM stands for alien but that in itself is incorrect, and there is already talk regarding this. It doesn't mean, however, that all other information that relate to this must use the same improper terms. Moreover, "illegal" is also inappropriate, a human, who is guaranteed human rights, is not "illegal." Addressing undocumented immigrants in proper terms that doesn't belittle them won't cause harm to those who read this Wikipedia page. They are minor changes but have considerable impacts. Yes, these terms have been used and have been acceptable in the past but now, they are widely discredited and outdated. The Wikipedia page should reflect these changing sentiments.

Thank you. Srho (talk) 21:01, 9 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'll do that. Thanks for your time, it was greatly appreciated! Srho (talk) 21:47, 9 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Next time

I don't think it was reasonable on your part to make a veiled threat in the middle of a discussion about the negative impact of threats at AN/I. I had a legitimate point, I didn't make any personal attacks and I was using policy and guidelines to make that point. Simply being in disagreement with the point doesn't mean I need or should be disciplined, and I don't see how its a good attitude to display in the middle of a dispute over admin use of tools. -- Avanu (talk) 15:02, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It wasn't a threat. I simply reminded you of what ANI has become and that you were venturing into dangerous territory. Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 ^{> haneʼ} 16:01, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I guess I don't understand. I thought AN/I was simply a place to notify administrators of situations that require potential use of 'tools'. -- Avanu (talk) 16:36, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In theory, yes. Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 ^{> haneʼ} 16:37, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sock-puppetry?

Hi Seb, I think the IP contributor ‎91.63.202.190 / 91.63.217.224 is a possible sockpuppet of User:AnAimlessRoad, who was indefinitely topic banned yesterday. The behavior seems consistent, as is the talk page rhetoric, and the timing is certainly serendipitous. Wanted to get your opinion on the merits of a checkuser request.

ps., appreciate your vigilance on this page. Homunculus (duihua) 20:07, 26 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have no idea, I just saw someone screaming. Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 ^{> haneʼ} 00:14, 27 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Haha, fair enough. They've been blocked either way (for now...).Homunculus (duihua) 00:23, 27 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
